Senator Riddleberger wentto Philadelphia

addressed the Clan ma. Gael and United Irish

in Virginia WAS no surprise to me. We weIo
licked fair and square. 1t was Mahcne and
his methods that defeated the republicans
His management of the canvass and his
abandonment of the only issues that we
could have won with made it impossible for
the republicans to reply TO the democratic
stump speakers. The charges printed by
certain papers that we we've cheated and
counted out are the worst kind of rot Why,
one Of our own men was elected by barely
ten majority. If the democrats wanted TO
count us out. how easy it would have been
to wipe away the ten votes" When asked
if he thought the election was an indorse-
ment of the administration he said:
81 think not. There are plenty of Virgin
ia democrats opposed to Cleveland. When

Virginia democrats damn the Presidents

Talking of bis successor, he said the ind
